  So the campaign is off to a pretty good start!  In just half a week
  we're over 20% of the way to meeting our first milestone.  Of
  course, we'd love to do more than just meeting the first goal... we
  get to the really exciting parts of "decentralizing the web" once we
  hit the second milestone of our campaign.
  (See the <a href="/pages/campaign.html">campaign page</a> for details on this!)
</p>

           alt="unlock characters"></a>
</p>

<p>
  But we need your help.  It seems that people who visit the campaign
  page seem to have a good chance of donating, which is great!  That
  means that if we can get that message out to more people, all the
  better chance of getting the funding to pull off some really cool
  and important stuff!
</p>

<p>
  Can you help us spread the word?  Here's several ways you can help:
</p>

<ul>
  <li>Write about MediaGoblin and post the video to your blog or website!</li>
  <li>
    Share the
    <a href="/pages/campaign.html">MediaGoblin campaign</a>
    on your social networks!
  </li>
  <li>
    Try to get us in the news!  If you can post about MediaGoblin to
    news sources you think are interesting, that makes a *huge
    difference*!  Let them know that they can email
    <a href="mailto:press@mediagoblin.org">press@mediagoblin.org</a>
    if they want to talk!
  </li>
  <li>
    Tell people you know about the campaign!  Showing someone
    personally or sending an email to people you know who care about
    these issues really helps!
  </li>
</ul>

<p>
<div style="text-align: center">
  <div style="float: none; display: inline-block;">
<iframe src="http://mediagoblin.org/pages/video_iframe.html"
        width="768" height="432"
        style="border: none;"
        allowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
<br />
<a href="http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html">Support MediaGoblin!  Help us take back the net!</a>
  </div>
</div>
</p>

<p>
  Our best explanation for what we're doing and working on is our
  campaign video.  Embedding the video is now easy!  If you have the
  ability to embed raw HTML in your blog or website, just copy the
  text below:
</p>

<p>
<textarea onclick="this.select()" readonly="true"
          rows="6" cols="80">&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://mediagoblin.org/pages/video_iframe.html&quot;
        width=&quot;768&quot; height=&quot;432&quot; style=&quot;border: none;&quot;
        allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html&quot;&gt;Support MediaGoblin!  Help us take back the net!&lt;/a&gt;</textarea>
</p>

<p>
  Writing things in your own words is of course always best!  But you
  can also feel free to borrow and modify the following as you see
  fit:
</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>
    MediaGoblin is a publishing system for the web, it can host all
    your media of any kind (like a YouTube + Flickr + SoundClound +
    more that anyone can run!). Plus it's free software, so you can run it and adapt it to
    your needs. Want to help the project towards federation and
    privacy features? Check out their fundraising campaign!<br />

<p>
  If you're looking for some images from the campaign, I put together
  a <a href="http://dustycloud.org/misc/mediagoblin_campaign_kit.zip">campaign kit</a>
  that you are free to use in your blogpost, article, whatever!
</p>

<p>
  Thanks for your help!  As always, MediaGoblin is powered by people
  like you, and we greatly appreciate your support!
